Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Raino85]

I suspect in light of wider events in football, it might be quiet today in terms of any announcements.

That wont stop the transfer addicts looking for there fix of the inner workings of the financial works of both ourselves and Roma

Send on a copy of the budget when you get a chance, cheers

No need, just refer to the squad numbers and quality.

Isn't it a matter of instead of TFG transferring X amount of millions to Roma so they can buy Wesley, they make the transfer to Everton?

Any cost or liability for Everton can easily be avoided.

People in here seem to thing that the very English Premier League specific PSR rules apply to the rest of the world. It doesn't. Other clubs and other leagues have other sets of rules and concerns. I am sure there are reasons for why Roma don't buy him themselves. Loans are a much bigger thing in Serie A. Everyone do it and everyone loan players from each other.

Just this season Roma loaned players to Inter, Milan, Fiorentina, Como, Parma, Benfica, Bayer Leverkusen and Sunderland. The previous season they loaned players from Juventus, Leeds x2, Chelsea and PSG.

The Friedkins aren't football people. They are business people. They are investors. They see player trading as bets in the market. Similar to stock transactions. They expect to lose money on many of their signings. All they care about is the bottom line. To make more good signings that bad ones.

And as owners of several football clubs, they also know that when they invest their money in footballers, that will have an affect of the players they already have on their books. They invest in football clubs and football players because they firmly believe that clubs and players will be worth more money in the future that today.

Clear similarities with the ownership at Chelsea. Who has splashed the money and paid silly money for players, but now sit on a lot of attractive players ready to be sold in an inflated market.

This is a lot of guff mate.

‘I’m sure there are reasons’ doesn’t really cut it I’m afraid.

This seems a made up story from an Italian press that simply don’t understand the financial/PSR/squad situation at Everton.

Theyre in Europe. They have rules on P/L etc

Sorry mate - i dont know what this means - or what point you are making?

Money transfer.

Roma have FFP concerns that restricts what they can do on the transfer market. Everton have not.

It's TFG's money that is used for buying the player. Regardless of he signs for. Whether he is registered as owned by Everton or Roma the next 12 months does not matter. Not as long as he is loaned out with an obligation of a permanent transfer next summer.

No liability for Everton. And it should not affect Everton's PSR concerns or transfer budget at all.

It seems like you simply don't understand the financial/PSR/squad situation at Everton.

Hahaha! Yes mate. This would be a perfect deal for us because of ‘the reasons’.

Stick to baseball lad.

Dumfries…. 25m release clause valid till
Mid July…. Anyone?? Anyone??

I'd have him me, absolutely. Dunno if it fits within our budget for this summer though..

One of those sad occasions where I think he would go to bigger clubs than us

Once again, like on many occasions with our football club, we missed the chance to grab him when his stock was on the cusp of rising..

Started banging goals in at the World Cup just before we could get the deal done I recall.

Nobody on here does.

 

[davids]

Keane is ok if he partners O'Brien or Branthwaite, it's when he has to partner Tarkowski that the problems start. Their combined lack of pace makes the whole defence jittery

See some of his performances behind closed doors for Ancelotti and his late season games against Fulham and Newcastle. Not his partner,it's the way he can't deal with stress

 

[toffee66]

Nobody on here does.

Not in the way Angus Kinnear does for certain but it is fair to say the knowledge gap is bigger in some cases than in others

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

We sign Celik to alleviate their immediate FFP concerns (leaving them £6m+ wiggle room)

We sign Wesley, charge them the £6m in loan fees to cover our 25/26 cost and they cover his wages on loan

We review season by season until Celik isn't deemed fit for purpose anymore and then snatch Big Wes back, plus a year or two of top-flight loan experience and some European footy under his belt

We win the league
